Avigdor Liberman Announces his Resignation
Published on: December 14, 2012Minister Liberman announced his resignation today as Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. Below is a translation of his statement:
Today I held meetings with my lawyers and members of electoral committee. The law does not require that I resign from my governmental position in light of the details of the indictment.
Although I know I have not violated any laws, out of a desire that after so many years of legal proceedings, investigations and wiretaps against me I can also put the matter that remains behind me, I decided to resign from my position as Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister and as I announced yesterday also to give up my parliamentary immunities effective immediately.
